Agreed - like I found on one of the blown pre-facelift 140s I had in recently that had a leaking oil filter!
-
saw one of these on the road last week: http://www.lotuscars.com/en/lotus-evora very nice
-
what about the new ft-86
-
Blimey - Im always getting dirt, oil, etc in my eyes, i usually use goggles when using a grinder but think ill use them a bit more now, hope they can find a way of sorting for you mate.
-
nope they are the larger toyota 5 stud fitment, same as camry, previa, supra, 5x114.3 i think
-
Leads???? Is indivuidual coil packs on the celica

Ive got 2 tanks now as I do between 600 and 1400 miles a week - one goes in the spare wheel which is a 45litre tank, the other behind the seats which is 49 litres and takes up half the boot. The 2 tanks together give a range of 530 miles or so, 94 litres at 65p ( I reckon I could do 600 miles if I drove a bit more sensibly) You can buy an LPG map which is useful for when your travelling about.

LPG all the way mate - if its done properly you wont notice the difference
-
Word of advice for anyone using jacks and axle stands and going under the car - once your wheel is off - stick it under the car - that way if your axle stand or jack gives up - or even your sill gives in - your wheel will stop it landing on you
-
If its not been serviced for a while could be a dirty air filter or worn out plugs - but ive had really worn plugs on the 7 without any issues - so they'd both have top be pretty bad - but worth checking.
-
hmm black smoke would indicate fuel problem - O2 sensor or maybe MAF - clean the MAF and see it it goes - any vaccum pipes off anywhere? Any mods on the car?
-
thats my car with my old urban racers on - your pic has loads of holes - which wolfrace dont normally do
-
black or blue smoke? black is normally over-fueling, - any warning lights on? blue would be oil - sometimes hard to see the diff water leak - check down the bottom of the rad - feel if its wet - not easy to see it on the 7
-
look a bit like a very old wolfrace wheel that they did about 10 years ago - but different - any chance of a bigger pic
-
another symptom - telling anyone who will listen how its never broken down and has spaceship mileage...
-
looks a good job - u should have a go at your front lip mate
-
sounds like a really long drive - how many miles 300 - 400?
-
i would try just soap and water before you start using cutting compound - you can make a mess with it if your not careful - move up to t-cut if that doesnt work and if you really need to use cutting compound. Get some pics up
-
as long as you have the same size on each axle then yes it will pass. Only thing is if the overall radius is significantly different for a pair it will put the ABS light on
-
I put flake in mine it does look good when its not too bright but in the sun its a bit too much, its quite difficult to get it right - so well worth practicing on a few old panels first. I wouldn't do it again and if my car wasnt hitting space ship mileage I would probably nitromours the whole car and do it without it.
-
I had this on my mini years ago, was running 155 instead of standard 145 - and was fine - put a new set of tyres on - different make but still 155 and they started catching...
-
That thread has been doing the rounds all over the shop for about a year in various forms - and a lot of it isnt true at all
-
at least ur ok mate - are you looking for another 6?
-
How many miles does your Celica cover in a week?
